Question
I'm from
California, where it's sunny all year. I'm thinking of moving to
Cleveland.
What's the weather like at different times of
year? Is the Winter really, really long?
How about
Summer? Also, any general comments on the quality of life
in
Cleveland. Thank you.
Answer
Thank you for visiting
AskaResident.com. I am happy to answer your questions. I like
living in the Midwest and I enjoy living with the seasons. And
because I
like the city of Cleveland I will try not to show my bias.
The weather in Cleveland sort
of depends on where you live
and how far or close you are to Lake
Erie. With that said, the answers
to your weather questions will vary. I live in West
Cleveland
near Lake Erie. The closer to the lake the less snow but more wind, which
makes neighborhoods close to the lake a few degrees colder.
Neighborhoods further
from the lake have warmer
temperatures.
I think the quality of life is very good. The Cleveland
Area is home to several colleges
and universities and also
several museums. The downtown section of Cleveland is a fun
place
to find restaurants, bars, clubs, or just walking along the harbor.
There are also
great neighborhoods through the city of
Cleveland and each has its own personality.
